4.0
The movie isnt a trailblazer; its an exuberantly trashy party, a comedy of lowdown defeats and triumphs.

Middle aged geezers will appreciate that Detroit Rock City gets its 70s details right.
San Francisco Chronicle
4.5
A wonderful, funny film that manages to strike a nice balance of John Hughes teen comedy and late 70s period piece.

Look, that guy just got clocked by a telephone receiver. Twice. See Funny!
Internet Reviews
3.1
Surprisingly amiable for a film that claims to kiss the rules goodbye.
Internet Reviews
4.5
By no means a masterpiece; hell, its barely a great movie, but it packs in enough talent, fun, and healthy delusions only KISS fans are capable of.

1.9
What works for rocking and rolling all night (and partying every day) doesnt necessarily hold true for movies.

2.5
Detroit Rock City has enough extra energy for several movies, and with a constant fast pace and 94 minute running time, doesnt overstay its welcome.
The Movie Boy
3.1
Set in the 1970s and produced by Gene Simmons (among others), this scrawny little script eventually becomes a rich film.
Ross Anthony
4.0
What Detroit Rock City lacks in intelligence it more than makes up for in energy.
Film Quips Online
1.0
There isnt even enough ambition in the movie to make us loath it.
Cinema Phile
3.5
The notion of musics cultural definition for people isnt taken for granted by Detroit Rock Citys makers.
1.5
sorely in need of the authenticity and easy humor of Dazed and Confused, the 1994 Richard Linklater comedy its obviously trying hard to imitate.
